Or it’s better just to buy a BMX for 20 bucks at the local thrift store when you’re in town and donate it back when you’re done. That’s what I did when I was in Orlando and I needed to get around town.

Absolutely; $20 for any length of "rental" time more than 40 minutes surely beats the $30/hr.

But I never had even a chance to consider such a way of locomotion - not since I was much younger :-) I don't travel much these days - doing zero flying at least, but making plenty of car trips, for fun and profit. When I used to fly for business (before 9/11) the company wouldn't even listen to such "nonsense" about bicycles. They would have me all set up by the minute - land, grab a rental car from Hertz, drive to company A, have a meeting there, drive to hotel B, go to a dinner meeting at restaurant C, etc. Time of employees is too expensive to waste; when on a business trip I was working harder than when in the office.
